[Shotimes] Re: Performance Friction D598 pads

[Dave Kegel]

They use ceramic in the Raybestos QuietStop line of pads.  I recently put
these on the AWA's '98 Sable, front and rear.  They work well.  No noise and
virtually no dusting.  By far the cleanest pads I've ever used.  I doubt
they have the stopping power of the Raybestos BruteStop, PFCM, and other
versions of carbon pads, but they're nice to use on a "regular" car.
